Organizations often face unique circumstances that require a more customized approach to training. Bohse & Associates, Inc. can customize any training offering for your group. Simply contact us about your organization’s needs and we will create a program tailored to provide the solutions you require.

Below are a few examples of customized programs our clients have requested:

Faith-Based Training—Grant Writing and Beyond

By request of the Center for Nonprofit Corporations, Bohse & Associates created an intensive, three-day workshop geared to faith-based organizations. Participants learn how to develop a project plan, create a budget, research funding sources for faith-based programming, evaluate a proposal, and practice their presentation skills. This Bohse program has become an annual offering of the Center by member request.

New Director Training for Senior Center Directors

Senior services is a rapidly growing field, and Bohse & Associates has a wealth of experience in this arena. Bohse created a program for the Council of Senior Centers and Services of New York City that included the history of aging (big picture), and a review of sector funding and services usage. Bohse defined key stakeholders, and explored the roles of the board of directors, volunteers, staff, and funders. Exercises and examples helped participants to understand what would be expected of them to run their program to satisfy the requirements of a funder. Also covered were networking issues, marketing and outreach.

Volunteer Recruitment and Management Training for New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection

Bohse & Associates created “Partnerships for Success,” a multi-faceted program geared to the recruitment and management of volunteers to serve in New Jersey’s parks and historic areas. Workshop topics included a self-evaluation (policies and practices), current volunteer demographics in parks and sites, pros and cons of working with volunteers, creating common job descriptions, recruiting and orientation, and reward and recognition for volunteers working for the Division of Parks and Forestry.

Volunteer Training for New Jersey’s Department of Health and Senior Services

Bohse & Associates has been engaged by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services to train volunteers for an in-school nutritional education program. The Intergenerational School Breakfast Program pairs adult “Breakfast Buddies” with students in pre-school through third grade for breakfast-time nutritional education and activities including reading, coloring, and games. Bohse facilitates school participation in the program, and customizes materials for each volunteer group trained based on school information gathered (program hours, grade levels reached, program supervision, etc.).
